1. There he is. Let's go.
Copy !req
2. Oh, yeah. Here we go.
Let's do this.
Copy !req
3. Oh, come on, you guys,
I'm eating here.
Copy !req
4. Oh, Alara, this is now an
official Friday night tradition.
Copy !req
5. - You cannot deprive us.
- Isaac,
Copy !req
6. get your shiny butt over here.
It's go time.
Copy !req
7. I still fail to comprehend
Copy !req
8. the purpose of this ritual.
Copy !req
9. We're circus animals, Isaac.
Copy !req
10. - I hate to break it to you.
- All right.
Copy !req
11. Come on, everybody.
Place your bets.
Copy !req
12. Use comscanner code
7-4-9-9-alpha-6.
Copy !req
13. Hey, what's the score?
Copy !req
14. Alara's won 16, Isaac's at 14.
Copy !req
15. All right, let's just
get this over with.
Copy !req
16. I have wagered on you,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
17. Do not fail me.
Copy !req
18. And go.
Copy !req
19. Come on, Alara!
Copy !req
20. Don't let me down!
Isaac!
Copy !req
21. You are nothing!
Come on, concentrate!
Copy !req
22. Isaac!
Copy !req
23. Alara!
Copy !req
24. Boom! And it's Isaac
for the win.
Copy !req
25. God.
Copy !req
26. What's the matter?
Copy !req
27. - Alara, are you okay?
- Call Dr. Finn.
Copy !req
28. I think my arm is broken.
Copy !req
29. How's that?
Copy !req
30. It's... much better, thanks.
Copy !req
31. Well, it was a clean break,
so it should be fine
Copy !req
32. in a half hour or so.
Copy !req
33. Just don't put too much stress
on it before then.
Copy !req
34. Claire, how did this happen?
Copy !req
35. I mean, I know Isaac and I
are evenly matched,
Copy !req
36. but to break my arm?
Copy !req
37. In Earth gravity? I...
Copy !req
38. Alara, uh...
Copy !req
39. how have you been
feeling otherwise?
Copy !req
40. Any unusual soreness
or inflammation?
Copy !req
41. Yeah. I mean, maybe a little,
Copy !req
42. but I've also been
working out more lately.
Copy !req
43. Wh-Why?
Copy !req
44. Well, your muscle mass
is down 20%.
Copy !req
45. No.
Copy !req
46. And your bone density
is down five percent.
Copy !req
47. Alara...
Copy !req
48. your strength is deteriorating.
Copy !req
49. Physical deterioration
as a result
Copy !req
50. of changes in gravity
is nothing new.
Copy !req
51. It happened to the earliest
human astronauts.
Copy !req
52. Even with extensive physical
training while in microgravity,
Copy !req
53. muscle volume and peak power
inevitably decrease.
Copy !req
54. Has it ever happened
with a Xelayan?
Copy !req
55. There have been
several cases, yes.
Copy !req
56. But the atrophy seems
to be affecting Alara
Copy !req
57. at a faster rate than most,
Copy !req
58. probably because
she left home so young.
Copy !req
59. So, uh, what do I do?
Copy !req
60. The good news is the effects
aren't permanent yet.
Copy !req
61. If you can reacclimate
to Xelayan gravity,
Copy !req
62. there's a 90% chance
you'll regain your strength.
Copy !req
63. How would she reacclimate?
Copy !req
64. She's gonna have to return
to her home planet.
Copy !req
65. Well, for how long?
Copy !req
66. Well, there's no way to know.
Copy !req
67. There have been documented cases
Copy !req
68. of Xelayans reacclimating
within weeks.
Copy !req
69. - Some took longer.
- How much longer?
Copy !req
70. Well, the longest
recovery period on record
Copy !req
71. was about four years.
Copy !req
72. And there was one subject
who never recovered.
Copy !req
73. He never left Xelayah again.
Copy !req
74. I'm not trying to scare you.
Copy !req
75. I'm just giving you the data.
Copy !req
76. And if I don't go back?
Copy !req
77. In time, your body will adjust
fully to Earth normal gravity.
Copy !req
78. After that, if you tried
to go back to Xelayah...
Copy !req
79. Crushed like a grape.
Copy !req
80. Without protection, yes.
Copy !req
81. When would she have to leave?
Copy !req
82. To maximize her chances?
Soon as possible.
Copy !req
83. Come in.
Copy !req
84. When I first got here,
Copy !req
85. I could lift a hundred kilos
more than that.
Copy !req
86. That's still a hell of a lot
better than the rest of us.
Copy !req
87. Look, I have a thought. Okay?
Copy !req
88. Now, whatever you decide to do,
I'm gonna support you.
Copy !req
89. But if you did decide to stay...
Copy !req
90. Then you'd have a security chief
Copy !req
91. who could get beaten up
by a high schooler.
Copy !req
92. Captain, look at me.
Copy !req
93. We both know the only reason
I got this job
Copy !req
94. is because I'm Xelayan.
Copy !req
95. Alara, your skill set
as chief of security
Copy !req
96. covers more
than just busting heads.
Copy !req
97. We could expand your staff,
Copy !req
98. give you as much manpower
as you need,
Copy !req
99. but you would still
call the shots.
Copy !req
100. Yeah, like they'd want
to take orders from me.
Copy !req
101. - That's their job.
- They'd never respect me.
Copy !req
102. And the ones who didn't resent
me would just feel sorry for me.
Copy !req
103. I... I don't need
charity, Captain.
Copy !req
104. So what are you gonna do?
Copy !req
105. What else can I do?
Copy !req
106. I'm going home.
Copy !req
107. Well, who knows—
Copy !req
108. maybe you'll recover
faster than anyone in history
Copy !req
109. and you'll be back here
in a week.
Copy !req
110. What if it's longer?
Copy !req
111. Your job will be
waiting for you.
Copy !req
112. What if it's...
Copy !req
113. a lot longer?
Copy !req
114. Just get better, okay?
Copy !req
115. I'll say it again.
Copy !req
116. Best-looking planet
in the Union.
Copy !req
117. Alara.
Copy !req
118. I just... I wanted to take
one last look at the bridge.
Copy !req
119. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
120. I'm gonna beat this.
Copy !req
121. I promise.
Copy !req
122. And I am going to come back
to you tougher than ever.
Copy !req
123. I know you will.
Copy !req
124. We're gonna miss you so much.
Copy !req
125. I'm gonna miss you guys, too.
Copy !req
126. Now entering atmosphere.
Copy !req
127. Activating gravity shield.
Copy !req
128. God, I just can't...
Copy !req
129. I mean, look at that.
Copy !req
130. Nothing like it.
Copy !req
131. You know, it's places like this
that make me realize...
Copy !req
132. God, I'm trash.
My family is trash.
Copy !req
133. It's that one, straight ahead.
Copy !req
134. Can I just park anywhere?
Copy !req
135. Yeah, just park out front.
Copy !req
136. Okay. Open the hatch.
Copy !req
137. Alara!
Copy !req
138. - Honey!
- Honey! Are you okay?
Copy !req
139. Yeah.
Copy !req
140. I'm fine. It's just the gravity.
Copy !req
141. Looks like it's more serious
than we were told.
Copy !req
142. Alara, are you sure you're okay?
I can have Dr. Finn sent down.
Copy !req
143. We have doctors
on Xelayah, Captain.
Copy !req
144. Far superior to any
you can provide.
Copy !req
145. Dad, for God's sake.
Copy !req
146. Oh, you were always
a fragile one. Poor thing.
Copy !req
147. Mr. and Mrs. Kitan,
Copy !req
148. it's no secret to anyone
Copy !req
149. that Xelayans don't think much
of the military.
Copy !req
150. But you should know
that your daughter
Copy !req
151. has distinguished herself
beyond all expectations.
Copy !req
152. She has saved a lot of lives.
Copy !req
153. Including mine.
Copy !req
154. Yes, well, thanks
Copy !req
155. for dropping her off.
We'll take it from here.
Copy !req
156. Captain.
Copy !req
157. Thank you.
Copy !req
158. For everything.
Copy !req
159. I'll see you soon.
Copy !req
160. Thank you, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
161. Come inside, sweetheart.
Copy !req
162. You can lie down.
Copy !req
163. It's no wonder she's so hard
on herself all the time.
Copy !req
164. God, I'd like to punch
that guy in the face.
Copy !req
165. All right, come on, let's go.
Copy !req
166. Oh, hang on. I've always wanted
to try something on this planet.
Copy !req
167. Brought this with me.
Copy !req
168. Wow!
Copy !req
169. Oh, man. Thank God
for gravity shields.
Copy !req
170. - Hi, honey.
- Up and around?
Copy !req
171. Feeling any better?
Copy !req
172. Yes. Thanks.
Copy !req
173. Wow, this looks great.
Copy !req
174. I hope you're hungry.
Copy !req
175. I know, I'm late. Sorry.
Copy !req
176. Hi, sweetie. Look who's here.
Copy !req
177. Alara. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
178. - Hi, hon.
- Solana, hi.
Copy !req
179. Uh, I thought you were out
on Jintann 8.
Copy !req
180. - Jintann 9.
- I was,
Copy !req
181. but the lab's all set up, and
they don't technically need me
Copy !req
182. for a few days, so of course
Copy !req
183. I'm gonna come see
my baby sister.
Copy !req
184. Especially if she's sick.
Copy !req
185. I'm not sick.
Copy !req
186. I was saying earlier,
she already looks
Copy !req
187. healthier than she did
on the Orville.
Copy !req
188. Well, that recycled air
wasn't doing you any favors.
Copy !req
189. They worked you
way too hard out there.
Copy !req
190. You always looked tired.
Copy !req
191. I don't know how you did it.
Copy !req
192. Cooped up on that ship
all the time?
Copy !req
193. I would lose my mind.
Copy !req
194. Actually, the Orville's great.
Copy !req
195. I like working there.
Copy !req
196. Well, now that you're back,
Copy !req
197. the important thing
is to stay busy.
Copy !req
198. In fact, this could be
the perfect time
Copy !req
199. for you to go back to school,
get your degree.
Copy !req
200. I'm not gonna be here that long.
Copy !req
201. Well, honey,
you don't know that.
Copy !req
202. If you're worried
about competing,
Copy !req
203. I've already talked to some of
Copy !req
204. the professors
at the university.
Copy !req
205. They know you're going to need
a little extra attention,
Copy !req
206. but they are all up
for the challenge.
Copy !req
207. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
208. Is gravity readjustment
Copy !req
209. kind of different for everybody?
Copy !req
210. Because I was reading
that some people
Copy !req
211. take a really long time
to recover.
Copy !req
212. You know, it'd be
really great if everyone
Copy !req
213. could just stop rooting
for me to fail.
Copy !req
214. I'm... I'm sorry.
Copy !req
215. It's just... look,
even if I were staying,
Copy !req
216. I'm not going back to school.
Copy !req
217. Honey, why don't you tell her
about you and Terlus?
Copy !req
218. - What is it?
- We're getting married.
Copy !req
219. You are?
Copy !req
220. That's amazing. Congratulations.
Copy !req
221. Took him long enough to propose.
Copy !req
222. You'll be my maid of honor,
of course.
Copy !req
223. And now that you're home,
who knows—
Copy !req
224. maybe you'll have some luck
in the romance department.
Copy !req
225. Come in.
Copy !req
226. Enjoying your old room?
Copy !req
227. It's like a flashback.
Copy !req
228. You hardly changed anything.
Copy !req
229. Yes, well, we always knew
you'd come back.
Copy !req
230. - Or at least we hoped.
- Because you missed me?
Copy !req
231. Of course we missed you.
And we want what's best for you.
Copy !req
232. God, you just
can't help yourself, can you?
Copy !req
233. What?
Copy !req
234. Did you ever stop to think
Copy !req
235. that maybe there
are people who might
Copy !req
236. possibly prefer
a different lifestyle than you?
Copy !req
237. Or is that just completely
beyond your ability to imagine?
Copy !req
238. Look, sweetheart...
Copy !req
239. you were born with certain...
disadvantages.
Copy !req
240. We both know if you hadn't been
Copy !req
241. slower than the other children,
Copy !req
242. you wouldn't have felt trapped
into joining the fleet.
Copy !req
243. Dad, I was well aware
of my intellectual weaknesses.
Copy !req
244. I had you to remind me
every day.
Copy !req
245. What, was I supposed
to lie to you?
Copy !req
246. You're my daughter.
Copy !req
247. Yeah, exactly.
I'm your daughter.
Copy !req
248. You're supposed to offer me—
I-I don't know—
Copy !req
249. encouragement, support.
Copy !req
250. Things a father
is supposed to do.
Copy !req
251. Now, hold on, that's not fair.
Copy !req
252. Your mother and I did the best
we could with you.
Copy !req
253. Oh, the best you could. Wow.
Copy !req
254. I am sorry I was such a project.
Copy !req
255. We put in a lot of time
and a lot of energy.
Copy !req
256. Do you know why?
Because we love you.
Copy !req
257. It broke our hearts
to see you join the military.
Copy !req
258. Those people inspired me
more in a year
Copy !req
259. than anyone on Xelayah did
my entire life.
Copy !req
260. Now, that is
the gravity sickness talking.
Copy !req
261. No, Dad, that's me talking!
Copy !req
262. Open your stupid ears
and listen.
Copy !req
263. All I ever needed to hear
from you was, "You can do it."
Copy !req
264. That's all. Just once.
Copy !req
265. And-and maybe it would've been
a lie, but I needed that, Dad.
Copy !req
266. I really needed it.
Copy !req
267. And do you know who said it
to me instead?
Copy !req
268. Captain Mercer,
Commander Grayson
Copy !req
269. and everyone on the Orville,
Copy !req
270. but not my own father.
Copy !req
271. The doctor doesn't know how long
Copy !req
272. you're going to be
in that chair.
Copy !req
273. Your mother and I
have decided that a trip
Copy !req
274. out to the beach house
might do us all some good.
Copy !req
275. Pull the family back together.
Copy !req
276. Trip to the beach
isn't gonna fix 20 years.
Copy !req
277. - Hello, hello.
- Hi, Serris.
Copy !req
278. I've got the house
all set up for you.
Copy !req
279. Thank you.
Anything we need to know?
Copy !req
280. The island is all yours.
Copy !req
281. Deserted for the off-season.
Copy !req
282. I'm headed back to the mainland,
Copy !req
283. but don't hesitate to contact me
if you need anything.
Copy !req
284. Thank you so much.
My best to your family.
Copy !req
285. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
286. Alara! Look!
Copy !req
287. It's so beautiful.
Copy !req
288. I haven't seen
a wild eevek in ages.
Copy !req
289. - Hi, honey.
- Didn't Serris say we're
Copy !req
290. the only ones on the island
right now?
Copy !req
291. Yes.
Copy !req
292. I saw a light on in one
of the houses down the beach.
Copy !req
293. Well, maybe someone else
Copy !req
294. wanted to take advantage
of the off-season.
Copy !req
295. It's so peaceful here
when it isn't crowded.
Copy !req
296. I can hardly blame them.
Copy !req
297. So what do we think?
Copy !req
298. - Bedtime?
- Absolutely. I'm exhausted.
Copy !req
299. So, short-term request
for a DNA specialist in medical,
Copy !req
300. staff reviews in armory
and communications.
Copy !req
301. Anything new in engineering?
Copy !req
302. Nothing departmental,
Copy !req
303. but Yaphit's six-month
evaluation was last week
Copy !req
304. and he asked what
our parental leave policy is.
Copy !req
305. Why? Is he thinking
of splitting in half?
Copy !req
306. We can't legally ask him that.
Copy !req
307. Come in.
Copy !req
308. Captain, the interim
security chief has arrived.
Copy !req
309. - Okay. Send him in.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
310. You miss her, don't you?
Copy !req
311. I just hope she's okay.
Copy !req
312. Yeah.
Copy !req
313. Come in.
Copy !req
314. Lieutenant Tharl
reporting for duty.
Copy !req
315. Tharl, come on in.
Copy !req
316. This ship is totally sick, man.
Copy !req
317. - Thank you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
318. I was checking it out
on the way up here.
Copy !req
319. I'm like,
"Man, this is bitchin'."
Copy !req
320. I like all the carpets.
Copy !req
321. Your references are terrific.
Copy !req
322. You come very
highly recommended.
Copy !req
323. Yeah, my last captain
had a total boner for me.
Copy !req
324. Not a boner-boner.
A professional boner.
Copy !req
325. Um, we only have standard-issue
uniforms on board,
Copy !req
326. so if you need
something specific...
Copy !req
327. No, it's all good.
I got a few of these.
Copy !req
328. So... can I take my station?
Copy !req
329. Yes. I'll show you
to the bridge.
Copy !req
330. Hey, what is that?
Copy !req
331. Uh, Kermit the Frog.
Copy !req
332. Sick.
Copy !req
333. No, don't help me.
Copy !req
334. I'm not. I'm here just in case.
Copy !req
335. Alara, you're doing great.
Copy !req
336. Not great enough.
Copy !req
337. No. That was so much better
than yesterday.
Copy !req
338. Hello. May I help you?
Copy !req
339. Yes. Hi.
Copy !req
340. I'm Cambis Borrin,
and this is my wife, Floratta.
Copy !req
341. We own the gray house
just up the beach,
Copy !req
342. the one with
the silver railings.
Copy !req
343. Oh, yes.
That's a beautiful home.
Copy !req
344. - Thank you.
- Come on in.
Copy !req
345. - Thank you.
- I'm Drenala,
Copy !req
346. and these are my daughters,
Solana and Alara.
Copy !req
347. Hi. We're so sorry
to bother you.
Copy !req
348. We just arrived this morning,
Copy !req
349. and we think someone's
been in our house.
Copy !req
350. So we were wondering
if you'd noticed
Copy !req
351. - anyone or anything unusual.
- Someone broke into your house?
Copy !req
352. Well, we don't know for sure,
but we think so.
Copy !req
353. Was there any sign
of forced entry?
Copy !req
354. No. No, not that we saw,
but when we got inside,
Copy !req
355. it looked as if several items
had been moved around,
Copy !req
356. like someone was looking
for something.
Copy !req
357. - Was anything missing?
- Well, not that we could see.
Copy !req
358. Did you call the police?
Copy !req
359. Oh, of course.
They came right away.
Copy !req
360. Did they scan for DNA?
Copy !req
361. I'm actually not sure.
Copy !req
362. Alara was a security officer
on board a Union starship.
Copy !req
363. Am. Not was.
Copy !req
364. I know that it's the off-season,
Copy !req
365. but do you know if there's
anyone else on the island?
Copy !req
366. Our caretaker
was here yesterday,
Copy !req
367. but he already left
for the mainland.
Copy !req
368. Forgive me for asking,
but how well do you know him?
Copy !req
369. Serris?
He's been with us for years.
Copy !req
370. I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to imply anything.
Copy !req
371. We're just, uh,
a little bit rattled.
Copy !req
372. No, it's fine.
I mean, I'm happy to call.
Copy !req
373. Thank you.
Copy !req
374. No answer.
Copy !req
375. Why don't I go check
his cottage?
Copy !req
376. Oh, honey, no.
Not in your condition.
Copy !req
377. Mom, it's what I do.
Copy !req
378. I can go with her.
Copy !req
379. Hey, you know, Tharl,
you can, uh,
Copy !req
380. take a break if you want,
go eat in the mess hall.
Copy !req
381. Oh, yeah, I'm good.
I like to work through lunch.
Copy !req
382. May I ask, what is that?
Copy !req
383. This? It's stew.
Copy !req
384. No, your appendage.
Copy !req
385. Oh, yeah. This is my esophagus.
Copy !req
386. My species has
a crazy high metabolism,
Copy !req
387. so we evolved two esophaguses—
Copy !req
388. one on the inside,
one on the outside—
Copy !req
389. so we can just pound food.
Copy !req
390. Just pound it.
Copy !req
391. Bam. Taking the tube
to Tummy Town.
Copy !req
392. Captain, Commander,
we have an idea.
Copy !req
393. - About what?
- It's about Alara.
Copy !req
394. We may have figured out
a way to help her.
Copy !req
395. Now, there are
no guarantees, but...
Copy !req
396. can you come to Simulator 3?
Copy !req
397. Bortus, you have the conn.
Copy !req
398. So... any cute guys
on that ship?
Copy !req
399. Some, yeah.
Copy !req
400. Cool.
Copy !req
401. Your life must be
pretty interesting out there.
Copy !req
402. You could say that.
Copy !req
403. You know,
Copy !req
404. I kind of envy you.
Copy !req
405. You envy me?
Copy !req
406. Yeah.
Copy !req
407. I mean, I know we haven't talked
that much in the past year,
Copy !req
408. but every time we did,
Copy !req
409. you always had
some crazy, wild story
Copy !req
410. about something you'd seen
or some new place you'd been.
Copy !req
411. Well, there's a lot to tell.
Copy !req
412. I mean, two-dimensional space?
Copy !req
413. I can't even imagine
what that must have been like.
Copy !req
414. I thought you guys
hated the military.
Copy !req
415. I have a theory.
Copy !req
416. I think the soldiers
and the intellectuals
Copy !req
417. all secretly want
what the other has.
Copy !req
418. The muscle wants the brains,
Copy !req
419. and the brains wish
they had what it takes
Copy !req
420. to clobber the barroom drunk
who gets out of line.
Copy !req
421. Why can't a person have both?
Copy !req
422. I guess a lot of us
look at people like you
Copy !req
423. and we think that we're better,
more evolved.
Copy !req
424. But...
Copy !req
425. you know I'm proud of you, sis.
Copy !req
426. What is all this?
Copy !req
427. It's all of Serris' stuff.
Copy !req
428. He never left.
Copy !req
429. He must still be on the island.
Copy !req
430. Ildis, how much longer is this
gonna take? We're starving.
Copy !req
431. Trivalve sauce
is a delicate thing.
Copy !req
432. You can't eat it
before it's completely boiled.
Copy !req
433. He thinks he's
a celebrity chef.
Copy !req
434. Drenala,
thank you again for this.
Copy !req
435. Oh, please,
I wouldn't want to go
Copy !req
436. back to that house tonight,
either.
Copy !req
437. Well, we're gonna head across
to the mainland tomorrow.
Copy !req
438. Do you think Serris
could've done something?
Copy !req
439. Well, if we don't
hear from him by morning,
Copy !req
440. - I'm calling the police.
- At least it's the off-season.
Copy !req
441. If they do need
to search for him,
Copy !req
442. they'll have an easier time.
Copy !req
443. That is true.
Copy !req
444. The high season
always so crowded.
Copy !req
445. You can actually see
sand and water now
Copy !req
446. instead of umbrellas and towels.
Copy !req
447. Oh, I do like
the crowds sometimes.
Copy !req
448. Our house is usually
just the two of us.
Copy !req
449. It can get a little lonely.
Copy !req
450. Do you have children?
Copy !req
451. We do— a son.
Copy !req
452. He's so busy, though, he can't
usually can't find the time
Copy !req
453. - to join us out here.
- How old is he?
Copy !req
454. Oh, he just turned 30.
He had a birthday last week.
Copy !req
455. Oh, that's great.
Did you do anything fun?
Copy !req
456. No, no, no. Galdus isn't
a birthday kind of guy.
Copy !req
457. Very serious.
Copy !req
458. Doesn't really like when
he's the center of attention.
Copy !req
459. Except when he's teaching,
of course.
Copy !req
460. Oh, where does he teach?
Copy !req
461. He is an associate professor
Copy !req
462. at the University of Xenara
Medical School.
Copy !req
463. Really? I've done a few stints
Copy !req
464. as a visiting lecturer there
over the years.
Copy !req
465. - Lovely campus.
- It is.
Copy !req
466. It's beautiful. Galdus loves it.
Copy !req
467. Yes, he started teaching
there when he was just 21.
Copy !req
468. - Bit of a prodigy.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
469. Not to brag or anything.
Copy !req
470. Oh, please, brag away.
Copy !req
471. Talking about Solana's PhD
is our favorite topic.
Copy !req
472. Come on, Mom.
Copy !req
473. It's true.
Copy !req
474. Oh, yes, there we go.
The sauce is ready.
Copy !req
475. Oh, finally.
Copy !req
476. I can't wait to try it.
Copy !req
477. Here, give me your plate.
Copy !req
478. You'll have to let me know
Copy !req
479. if it's spicy enough.
Copy !req
480. - Is that ladle clean?
- Yes, of course it is.
Copy !req
481. It looks a little dirty.
Copy !req
482. No, it's fine, I promise.
Copy !req
483. Just the same, maybe you could
use something else.
Copy !req
484. Okay, uh,
Copy !req
485. I'm sure I must have a spoon
around here somewhere.
Copy !req
486. Why don't you use your hand?
Copy !req
487. - Right.
- I mean it.
Copy !req
488. What are you talking about?
It's boiling hot.
Copy !req
489. Use your hand.
Copy !req
490. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
491. Okay, what is going on,
and who are you?
Copy !req
492. I'm a hungry man asking my host
to serve him some trivalve sauce
Copy !req
493. with his hand.
Copy !req
494. - Ildis.
- Mom, sit down.
Copy !req
495. Better do as you're told.
Copy !req
496. Ildis.
Copy !req
497. Oh, I would say
that is indeed spicy enough.
Copy !req
498. Look what I found.
Copy !req
499. Frizzian champagne?
Copy !req
500. Oh, Ildis, you've been
holding out on us.
Copy !req
501. Saving this
for higher-class company?
Copy !req
502. Listen,
whatever it is you want...
Copy !req
503. Shut up, Ildis.
Copy !req
504. I propose a toast, sweetie.
Copy !req
505. To Galdus' birthday.
Copy !req
506. Happy birthday
to our little boy.
Copy !req
507. Mmm.
Copy !req
508. It's too bad Galdus can't share
this wonderful champagne,
Copy !req
509. but he died last year.
Copy !req
510. Suicide.
Copy !req
511. But you were just talking
about him earlier.
Copy !req
512. I can see how
that would be misleading.
Copy !req
513. We talk about Galdus often.
Copy !req
514. I'm so sorry about your son.
Copy !req
515. That must be terrible,
to lose a child.
Copy !req
516. It is.
Copy !req
517. The worst pain a parent
could ever imagine.
Copy !req
518. He held on for a while,
as long as he could,
Copy !req
519. a few years, actually,
after you destroyed his career,
Copy !req
520. destroyed his life.
Copy !req
521. I don't understand
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
522. Professor Ildis Kitan.
Copy !req
523. Author of a paper
first published
Copy !req
524. in the Xelayan Journal
of Science,
Copy !req
525. "The Mellara Vaccine
and Its Effects
Copy !req
526. on the Risk of Torin's Syndrome:
A Formal Dispute."
Copy !req
527. Galdus Harona.
Copy !req
528. Ah, it all comes back to him.
Copy !req
529. Dad, who is he?
Copy !req
530. A medical researcher,
Copy !req
531. a very outspoken opponent
of the Mellara vaccine.
Copy !req
532. Galdus' research revealed
that the vaccine
Copy !req
533. was putting children at risk
of Torin's Syndrome.
Copy !req
534. He published his findings,
Copy !req
535. was on the verge of becoming
a household name
Copy !req
536. for exposing the dangers,
for protecting the children.
Copy !req
537. Please listen to me
very carefully.
Copy !req
538. I never set out
to deliberately ruin your son.
Copy !req
539. It wasn't personal.
Copy !req
540. It was about the science.
Copy !req
541. His methodology was flawed.
Incomplete.
Copy !req
542. Every credible researcher
in the field knew it.
Copy !req
543. He needed more peer review.
He was wrong about...
Copy !req
544. No, no, no.
You were wrong.
Copy !req
545. And you are going to admit
that you were wrong.
Copy !req
546. Your son was a very smart man.
Copy !req
547. Too smart to rush publication
of his research without...
Copy !req
548. You are going to renounce
your position.
Copy !req
549. Thousands of people would've
died without that vaccine.
Copy !req
550. You are going to tell the world
that you lied.
Copy !req
551. He was right.
You were wrong.
Copy !req
552. And you can't
live with the guilt anymore.
Copy !req
553. - Sweetie.
- This is insane.
Copy !req
554. I will not go on record
declaring a vaccine is dangerous
Copy !req
555. when it isn't.
Copy !req
556. All right.
All right.
Copy !req
557. I-I'll do it.
Copy !req
558. Dad, the second you make
that retraction,
Copy !req
559. they'll have no reason
to keep any of us alive.
Copy !req
560. All right. That does create
a bit of a stalemate,
Copy !req
561. yes.
Copy !req
562. Sweetie, it seems we need
a less absolute incentive.
Copy !req
563. I have an idea.
Copy !req
564. Ildis, I noticed you have
a lovely garden.
Copy !req
565. - Solana, your hand, please.
- No, no, please.
Copy !req
566. - Please don't. I...
- Your hand or your head.
Copy !req
567. Which one, sweetie?
Copy !req
568. Don't do this.
I'll make the statement.
Copy !req
569. - I'll say what...
- I know you will, Ildis,
Copy !req
570. but I do want you
to have a small taste
Copy !req
571. of what it feels like
to watch your child suffer.
Copy !req
572. Let's start with the little one.
Copy !req
573. It's a Union shuttle.
What have you done?
Copy !req
574. - Nothing. I swear.
- Who is it?
Copy !req
575. - I swear, I don't know.
- The point is, they're here.
Copy !req
576. If I were you, I'd make a break
for it while you still can.
Copy !req
577. Come here. Come here.
Sweetie.
Copy !req
578. Get rid of them.
Copy !req
579. Nobody makes a sound.
Copy !req
580. Professor Kitan,
Copy !req
581. I'm sorry to just drop in
unannounced like this,
Copy !req
582. but your comm seems to be down.
Copy !req
583. Yes, we've been having
some trouble with it.
Copy !req
584. - Should be repaired by tomorrow.
- Well, I need to speak to Alara.
Copy !req
585. Uh, she's resting right now.
Copy !req
586. The gravity's
been getting to her,
Copy !req
587. but we'll let her know
you were here.
Copy !req
588. - She'll call you tomorrow.
- It's very important
Copy !req
589. that I talk to her.
I promise you
Copy !req
590. - she's gonna want to hear
what I have to say.
- I'm sorry,
Copy !req
591. it's not a good time.
Copy !req
592. Look, Ildis,
Copy !req
593. I know you don't think much
of me or the fleet,
Copy !req
594. but please believe me
when I tell you
Copy !req
595. that I care about your daughter
just as much as you do.
Copy !req
596. Now, I need to speak to her
right away,
Copy !req
597. and I'm not leaving until I do.
Copy !req
598. - Everyone get upstairs
and lock the doors.
- Alara, what-what...
Copy !req
599. Dad, get 'em upstairs now!
Copy !req
600. Come on. Go.
Copy !req
601. Ed!
Copy !req
602. Ed, can you hear me?
Copy !req
603. Yeah. I can't move.
Copy !req
604. Contact the Orville.
Copy !req
605. Ed, I'm reading a problem
with your gravity field.
Copy !req
606. Check your gauge.
Copy !req
607. Power's low.
Copy !req
608. It must have been
overloaded by the shot.
Copy !req
609. Malloy to Orville.
Copy !req
610. Ed's gravity field
is malfunctioning.
Copy !req
611. He's got about three minutes
Copy !req
612. until the Xelayan gravity
gets through.
Copy !req
613. Dad, I can take this guy,
Copy !req
614. but I need you to go help Ed.
Copy !req
615. - What?
- You have to go over the balcony
Copy !req
616. and get him inside the shuttle.
Copy !req
617. What...
Copy !req
618. - What is it?
- Can't you go?
Copy !req
619. My legs are about to give out
on me. I won't make it.
Copy !req
620. Dad, you can do this.
Copy !req
621. Okay? You can do it.
Copy !req
622. Let's go.
Copy !req
623. Just a... a little further.
Little further.
Copy !req
624. Come on!
Come on, a little further.
Copy !req
625. A little further, come on!
Copy !req
626. Ed. Ed, are you okay?
Copy !req
627. He's unconscious but stable.
Copy !req
628. You'll have to get him
back to your ship,
Copy !req
629. but he'll be all right.
Copy !req
630. Are you gonna be all right?
Copy !req
631. Alara took care of it.
Copy !req
632. She always does.
Copy !req
633. Alara? Are you okay?
Copy !req
634. - I'm fine. How's Ed?
- A few broken bones,
Copy !req
635. - but he'll make it.
- Good.
Copy !req
636. Alara, you...
we would all have been...
Copy !req
637. You don't have to say it.
Copy !req
638. Dad, it's my job.
Copy !req
639. It's what I've been trying
to tell you for years.
Copy !req
640. They would have killed us.
Copy !req
641. All of us.
Copy !req
642. Probably.
Copy !req
643. I don't know you.
Copy !req
644. I never even tried to know you.
Copy !req
645. I wanted you to know me, Dad.
Copy !req
646. All I ever wanted
Copy !req
647. was for you to be proud of me.
Copy !req
648. I am so proud.
Copy !req
649. So very proud
that you are my daughter.
Copy !req
650. And I'm so sorry
that you got me for a father.
Copy !req
651. We've managed
to create a finite area
Copy !req
652. of stabilized synthetic graviton
particles in the simulator.
Copy !req
653. And you're sure this will work?
Copy !req
654. Two hours a week of high-gravity
treatments, and you'll be able
Copy !req
655. to maintain your strength
aboard the Orville.
Copy !req
656. Sounds so simple.
Copy !req
657. Not entirely.
The gravity is amplified,
Copy !req
658. even from what you're used to
on Xelayah.
Copy !req
659. The treatments will be painful
at first, very painful.
Copy !req
660. But you'll be able
to keep your posting.
Copy !req
661. You're our chief of security
as long as you want to be.
Copy !req
662. Come in.
Copy !req
663. Hey.
Copy !req
664. How you feeling?
Copy !req
665. Not bad.
Copy !req
666. Claire said you're scheduled
Copy !req
667. for your first treatment
this afternoon.
Copy !req
668. That's actually what I came
to talk to you about.
Copy !req
669. Uh, Captain...
Copy !req
670. What's wrong?
Copy !req
671. I've decided not to do
the treatments.
Copy !req
672. Claire said they were painful,
but I didn't think that...
Copy !req
673. No, it's not that. It's...
Copy !req
674. Sir, I joined the fleet
Copy !req
675. because I never
really had a family.
Copy !req
676. And I wanted
to belong to something
Copy !req
677. larger than myself.
Copy !req
678. Captain, the Orville
Copy !req
679. has been so much more
Copy !req
680. than I ever could've wished for.
Copy !req
681. It was warm.
It was welcoming.
Copy !req
682. I was needed.
Copy !req
683. You were my family.
Copy !req
684. You and this entire crew, but...
Copy !req
685. I found something on Xelayah.
Copy !req
686. Something I'd only ever seen
from afar.
Copy !req
687. I always thought it was just for
other people, but not for me.
Copy !req
688. And now I have a chance
to experience it for myself.
Copy !req
689. I've already missed out
on so much time.
Copy !req
690. I... I don't want
to miss out anymore.
Copy !req
691. You're going back.
Copy !req
692. I need to be with my family.
Copy !req
693. That's two goodbyes
so close together.
Copy !req
694. I won't forget this place.
Copy !req
695. I promise.
Copy !req
696. We won't forget you.
Copy !req
697. And if you ever decide...
Copy !req
698. that you miss that little chair
on the bridge...
Copy !req
699. it'll be there for you.
Copy !req
700. This is for you.
Copy !req
701. It's been a pleasure
serving with you, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
702. Likewise, Captain.
